Help Please: Outlook 2007 Calendar & Notes questions

I just switched to Outlook 2007. I am using XP. I am not using Outlook for
email but as a contact\calendar program to sync with my phone

I like the calendar being in the panel to the right of my Contacts in the
“TO DO BAR� but still have some questions.

1. There was a previous discussion about recurrence happening automatically
when entering a single event. I am having that issue as well. One user
responded: “Look in Add or Remove Programs for an application called
"Outlookaddinsetup" or "Cyberlink Outlookaddingsetup" and remove it. It's
part of Media Direct
and screws Outlook up.� I looked to do that but can’t find either in my
Add\Remove menu.

Also in Calendar if I do have a recurring date, such as a birthday, it does
not show up bold in the panel on the right (“TO DO BAR�). I realize I
imported from Outlook 2002 and have had to tweak some of the single
occurrences to show up bold. I tried this with recurring dates, but can’t
achieve it.

Bottom Line: How do I enter a date and not get an automatic recurrence
tagged to?

How do I get recurring dates to show up bold in the calendar (“TO DO BAR�)
panel?

When I select a new month in “TO DO BAR� why don’t events for that month
appear below?

If I have an event over several days the days are in bold but not listed
below in the appointment listing in the “TO DO BAR�. Can this be fixed?

Shifting to NOTES. Is there a way to password protect single notes?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I don't know of any applicaitons other than the Cyberlink that cause Outlook
to behave that way. Clearly there must be others, if it's happening to you
without the Cyberlink apps, but I don't know what to suggest.

This is Outlook 2007's doing. I believe that it doesn't show all-dey events
or multiday events in the To Do bar. I don't believe it has anything to do
with recurrences.

When I select a new month in “TO DO BAR� why don’t events for that month
appear below?

My understanding is that the To Do bar shows the next X number of events.
It's not designed to show events in the currently selected month.

Nope.
